Behind the Scenes of Financial Planning Software [Ep. 19]

About This Episode  Most people think a financial plan is a simple yes-or-no question: Can I retire?  But in this episode of GDS Unplugged, Glen and Robert talk through how a retirement plan that looks solid initially may tell a different story once you take a closer look.  This time, they walk through a real client plan (with details changed, of course) and highlight the various levers that can quietly alter the outcome. Some are honest mistakes. Others are simply overlooked. And a few…may be unexpected to viewers.  If you’ve never watched someone “stress test” a plan in real time, this episode offers a different way to view retirement planning.   Keep Learning & Stay Connected  Curious how this kind of planning looks in action?
